Via Célere Expands in Portugal Building 60 Homes in Porto

27 February 2018

The developer began operations Portugal last September with the launch of its first venture in Lisbon, where it is building a development of 276 homes.

Vía Célere now intends to expand its footprint in the Portuguese real estate market. This time the developer headed to the north of mainland Portugal, setting its sights on the city of Porto. The Spanish real estate company will build 60 homes on land that it had previously acquired through a merger.

The company, chaired by Juan Antonio Gómez-Pintado, will launch the development on a 6,144-square-meter site that was incorporated into Vía Célere after its merger with Dospuntos. The project will be implemented in Lordelo do Ouro, a neighbourhood that is four kilometres from the city centre, according to El Economista.

The Vía Célere development in Porto reinforces the commitment, not only of Gómez-Pintado’s real estate firm but also of Spanish real estate developers in Portugal. “It is the right time to move forward with the development of new projects in Portugal. Because of its sustained economic growth and the growing confidence and purchasing power of its consumers, in an environment of greater access to finance and low-interest rates, the Portuguese market is an excellent opportunity for real estate investment,” via Célere’s chief executive stated during a presentation of the project in Lisbon.

The Lisbon development will begin construction during the second semester of this year and will be divided into four phases. In the first phase, a residential area encompassing 15,800 buildable square meters will be built, together with up to 120 multi-family homes. The land for this project also originated with Via Célere’s merger with Dospuntos.
